A message from Brian Stewart (founder of BookMe.com):
Welcome to BookMe.com! First of all, thank you for coming to our website! I hope you find this site as useful and convenient as I do. I welcome all messages from our visitors.

About the website:
At BookMe, we believe in simplicity. You won’t find a website loaded with advertisements and flashy graphics. We spend our time delivering high quality search, so that our users save as much time and money as possible. At BookMe, we like to think of ourselves as the first place to come to when beginning your vacation or event ticket search. The bottom line is that when making reservations, the average person searches three to four different websites to compare prices, wasting at least 45 minutes of time going to each individual website, manually entering information multiple times. We have made it so you can skip these unnecessary steps and find the best possible deals on the Internet.
Did you know that in the amount of time it takes you to enter your search information and click “Search and Save”, we will have already compiled a list of websites that deliver the best prices that fit your itinerary. We have a system in place that does all the dirty work for you, allowing you to compares prices for sports, concerts, and show tickets, flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises and vacations, for free! We search through at least 300 different results, so you don't have to manually visit each website and constantly plug in your search criteria. By our research and estimates, we have found that the average BookMe visitor saves 50 minutes and $92 per ticket booked. Our method is a proven one: if you start your search with BookMe.com, you WILL save.
How we started:
In January of 2008, I set out online to search for two tickets to a Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game. Since the game was sold out, I searched Google for 'sports ticket websites' and found quite a few. After 45 minutes of going to site after site and searching for the same event to compare the prices, I realized there had to be a better way of doing this. Thus, the idea of BookMe.com was born. I noted down all the websites I searched and made a list that had the best inventory and the best prices (these are the sites you search on BookMe when looking for sports, concerts, and show tickets). I decided to create a website that would allow you to find the event on BookMe.com, then click any logo that would take you to that specific event's page on whichever website you desire. What took me 45 minutes to search would now take 2 minutes. Then I thought, "why not do this same concept for travel searching?" And the rest is history.
I created this website because the world needed it. I was tired of wasting my time going to all these websites to search the same thing over and over again. I was tired of buying tickets, only to find out I could've saved $50 by searching another website that I didn't know about. So I created BookMe.com, and now we can all save together! :)
Our Charity:
Everytime you use BookMe, you are helping to save real life pets. BookMe is a member of the charitable organization called Harry's Pals. Everytime you begin your travel or event search using Bookme, we donate $.01 to $.05 to various animal charities. Our goal is to have 1 million searches per month, which would allow us to donate somewhere around $250,000 per year to charity. But to do this, we need your help to spread the word! I created this website with very limited funding, and certainly don't have enough money to compete with the big players out there. Therefore, we are going to need word of mouth to carry this website around. If you love our website, help us spread the word! If you don't love it, well, spread it anyways, because maybe you just have bad taste. :)
Some people refer to me as an webmaster who happens to love animals, but I prefer to refer to myself as an animal lover who happens to make awesome websites.

Thank you for visiting BookMe.com. Please make sure to come back and tell your family and friends!
Your friend,
Brian
